Divi Advanced Blurb
An icon or image beside a heading and some text.
Ask AI about the Divi Advanced Blurb module
Why use the Divi Advanced Blurb module?
The blurb is the workhorse of a marketing page: an icon or a picture, a heading, a couple of lines, sometimes a button. Divi ships one, and it stops exactly where most pages need it to keep going. No video. No chip behind the icon. No hover treatment on the image. No control over the heading level, which quietly costs you a sensible document outline.
Advanced Blurb is the same shape with the gaps filled in. Three media types instead of two, media on any of three sides, an icon box, image hover animations, a real button group, and a heading tag you choose.
The blurb beside this is the live module.
One module, three media types
An icon, a picture or a video sits at the top, the left or the right, and the content lines up with it.
What you get out of it
A blurb that takes videoMedia Element has a third option Divi’s own blurb does not: a video. Paste a YouTube or Vimeo link, or point it at an MP4 you host.The icon gets a boxTurn the icon into a chip with its own background, width, height and corner radius. A circle, a square or anything between.Images that reactZoom on hover, or ship the picture in grayscale and let the colour come back when someone hovers it.Media on any sideTop, left or right, and content alignment is a separate setting, so a left-aligned icon can sit beside centred text.The heading tag is yoursH1 through H6. A page full of blurbs does not have to be a page full of H4s fighting your outline.Native on Divi 5Built on the Divi 5 engine, with a full Divi button group on the button and Divi 4 layouts converting across.

See the Divi Advanced Blurb in action
Every card below is the live module, not a picture of one. The three media types are the first thing to choose between, and the third one is the reason this module exists.
Media · Icon
Any icon from the Divi picker, with an optional chip behind it.
Icon
The classic blurb. The icon takes a colour, a size and a box of its own.
Media · Image
A picture, with an optional hover animation.
Image
The image sits above the text here, and its width is a setting rather than a guess.
The media type Divi’s own blurb does not have
A YouTube or Vimeo link goes through the oEmbed provider and embeds properly. Any other URL renders as an HTML5 player, so a self-hosted MP4 works too. Give a video blurb the full width of its column.
Media · Video
The same module, with Media Element set to Video.
Video in a blurb
Heading, body and button behave exactly as they do with an icon or an image. Only the media element changes.
Where the media sits
Top, left or right. Content alignment is a separate setting, so the two combine rather than fight.
Placement · Top
The default, and the one that suits a row of equal cards.
Top
Media above the heading, everything left aligned underneath it.
Placement · Left
The icon leads and the text runs beside it.
Left
This is the layout for a list of features down a column.
Placement · Right
The mirror image, for a two column section.
Right
Media on the right, and the content aligned to match it.
The icon box
A chip behind the icon, with its own background, size and corner radius. Four of the shapes it makes.
Circle
Radius at 999px.
Circle
A round chip is the usual choice.
Squircle
A soft 12px corner.
Squircle
Softer than a square, calmer than a circle.
Square
Radius at zero.
Square
Sharp corners, which suit a technical page.
No box
The chip switched off entirely.
No box
Just the glyph, at whatever size you set.
What the image does on hover
Zoom, grayscale, or an icon revealed over the picture. Hover any of these three.
Zoom
The picture scales to 1.08 inside its own frame.
Zoom
A small scale on hover, clipped by the frame so nothing moves around it.
Grayscale
Desaturated at rest, colour on hover.
Grayscale
It ships desaturated and the colour comes back when someone hovers it.
Overlay icon
An icon fades in over the picture.
Overlay
Set an overlay icon and it appears over the image on hover. It applies to images only.
With a button, and centred
The button carries a full Divi button group, so it matches the rest of the site rather than the plugin.
Centred, with a button
Alignment centre, media on top.
Image and a button
A picture, a heading, two lines and an action.
Heading level
The same card with the title set to H5 rather than H3.
Your outline, your call
Title HTML Tag runs H1 to H6, set per blurb, so a page of them does not have to flatten your document outline.
Building one takes about a minute
Three steps, and none of them involve custom CSS.
1Drop in the moduleAdd Advanced Blurb to any row. It arrives with an icon, a title and a line of body text in place.2Choose the mediaIcon, image or video. An icon comes from the Divi picker, an image from your library, a video from a link or an MP4.3Place it and dress itMedia on the top, left or right, content alignment, the icon box if you want one, and a button if the card needs an action.
Questions people ask first
Short answers, all of them checked against what the module actually does.
Is Advanced Blurb included in Divi Torque Pro?Yes. It is a Divi Torque Pro module, included in every plan. For the simpler icon and text case, use Icon Box.How is it different from Divi’s own blurb?Three things mainly: it takes a video as well as an icon or image, the icon can sit in a styled box, and the image has hover animations and an overlay icon. It also lets you set the heading tag, which Divi’s does not.What video sources work?Anything WordPress recognises as an oEmbed provider, which covers YouTube and Vimeo, is embedded properly. Any other URL is rendered as an HTML5 player, so a self-hosted MP4 works.Can the whole card be a link?No. Only the button is clickable. If you need the whole card to link somewhere, wrap it in a Divi link at the row or column level.Can I set alt text on the image?Not on this module. The image is rendered with an empty alt attribute, which is correct when the picture is decorative and a limitation when it is not. For an informative image use a module that exposes alt text.Does it need Divi 5?It is a native Divi 5 module, built on the Divi 5 engine. Layouts built with the Divi 4 version convert across.
